Is saying 'your mom' an insult?In: Idioms and Slang |
[Edit] |
In slang terms, when someone says "your mom" or "your mama", they are usually jokingly turning something around to indicate that your mother is guilty of the action mentioned. For example, if you're with a buddy and you say something like, "You need to lose weight, man", he may turn around and say "Your mama", meaning that your mom needs to lose weight. It's a silly slang thing, usually not meant to hurt someone's feelings or actually insult a person's mother.
